Euro 2016

Set Piece Takers Updated

With just over 24 hours left until France and Romania get Euro 2016 underway tomorrow evening, we’ve freshened up our Set Piece Takers tab with the summer tournament in mind.

We’ve delved into the international data in our members statistics, which, as revealed last week, takes in not only all of the Qualifying Rounds and the last 12 months of international friendlies but will also include the data from the tournament itself.

This should help Fantasy managers get a handle on those players likely to be issued dead-ball duties by their respective nations and could be particularly handy for those playing the DraftKings game, which is somewhat weighted in favour of those likely to supply plenty of crosses.

The new table comprises all 24 qualifiers from Groups A-F and will, when applicable, be updated on a daily basis to address any changes to free-kick, corner kick and penalty takers as the action unfolds right up until the final in the Stade de France on July 10.

      This.

      It should be played with a lot of flair and throwing caution to the wind unlike FPL.

      Time to have fun.

  6. JÆKS ⭐

    Final opinion? All suggestions welcome for the last spot:

    Kozacik Patricio
    Schär Rami Hector Juanfran Strinic
    KDB Perisic Götze Junuzovic 7.0
    Muller Giroud Nolito

    Hector --> Howedes might be an option to have 7.5 available!

    1. rocrocodile

      Fabregas.

      Have you thought of Florenzi? I only ask. I have Kroos. 🙂

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years

        Not really, Candreva better option no?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Maybe. The other feller is good at corners.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Hmm yea, but Belgium + Sweden aren't the best fixtures. Hamsik is the favourite atm. In the last 2 days, suddenly Grosicki Fabregas Schär aren't nailed on anymore (one because of injury ofcourse), and I still have Götze and Nolito as 'risky' players as well.....

  7. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Muller + Rodriguez

    Ronaldo + 4.0 def

    That's how much of a difference it makes 😕 going without Ronaldo is gonna be painful but the points could easily be made up from a Swiss clean sheet or penalty

    1. Swift
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm not sure how much Ronaldo will outscore Muller by to begin with. I think they're both pretty even.

  8. SADIO SANÉ

    | von Bergen | Strinic | Lindelof | Ciman | Guerreiro |

    The ultimate risk?

    MD1:
    von Bergen v Albania
    Strinic v Turkey
    Lindelof v Ireland
    Ciman v Italy

  10. pundit of punts

    7 years, 11 months ago

    Educated guesses on the Polish and Swedish lineups please?

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Szczęsny; Piszczek, Glik, Pazdan, Jędrzejczyk; Zieliński, Krychowiak; Kapustka, Milik, Błaszczykowski; Lewandowski

      Wawrzyniak may play instead of Jędrzejczyk, it's still unclear. With Grosicki probably out, either Kapustka or Peszko will make the first team, and Błaszczykowski will be moved to left wing. Still not sure about Szczęsny, but he should start as he played 90mins against the Netherlands, while Boruc and Fabiański both played 45mins against Lithuania.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers.

        I want a Polish 4.5m def. Who should I go for? And, do you think Poland are good for a CS in the first game?

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I wouldn't go for any Polish defender in the first place. We are leaky at the back, we even conceded against Gibraltar.

          But if you really want to, I'd suggest Jędrzejczyk for his attacking threat. Not nailed on but you can easily replace him, as he plays on the third day.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks.

            Looks like I should steer clear then.

      2. psgg
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I have Zieliński

        But not sure if he is nailed on

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He should play against N. Ireland, but don't be suprised if he's benched against the Germans. Our manager may opt for a more defensive option, i.e. Mączyński for the second game.

      3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        What about Krzysztof Mączyński?

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He may get a chance in a game where a more defensive approach is needed. So maybe in the second gameweek, as my educated guess is that we should and we will dominate the game against N. Ireland, and Zieliński is much better for that.

          1. Belalugozi78
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I can't agree. Maczynski is defo a starter. Middle of the park looks much better when he plays nr.8 position and has Krychowiak by his side. Plus - Maczynski is so called "Nawalka child" - he thought him up, brought into the squad, they worked together in the club, he finally played in most qualifiers untill injury. He played well, got some assists. Zielinski was Nawalka plan but he badly failed. Last 2 games were terrible..... so Mączyński and Krychowiak in the middle, the rest is as Johny O said.

    Who will be euros top scorer? And with how many goals?
    My prediction:
    Muller 5 goals

    1. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Giroud.

  12. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Prediction on top 2 to qualify from each group guys?

    I ve got it down as:

    A france and Swiss
    B England Wales
    C Germany poland
    D Spain Croatia
    E Belgium Italy
    F Portugal Austria

    1. Swift
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Same. Maybe Turkey for Croatia, but I agree on the rest.

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Russia stand a chance?

        1. Swift
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I feel like they've been knocked out of group stages for every major tournament (minus their dream run in the 2008 Euro), but I might be wrong. I don't watch them either, but I'm pretty sure they have an older defence (and whole team in general). I'd actually pen them for the bottom spot in their group, with Slovakia third.

    2. rocrocodile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think Wales will finish 4th. Slovakia is my punt.

      Iceland could easily beat Austria, I'll go with them.

      The rest is pretty straight forward.

        Kozacik played every game for Slovakia, I don't think that's even a chance.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If half of FFS community asks the same question then probably no.

    Best 7.5 midfielder? Is Hamsik the real deal? I think Slovakia will do well.

    1. JÆKS ⭐

      Not sure, have 7.5 over as well, Perisic already in my team ...

    Who's more silly: Leicester bidding 20m for Deeney or Watford rejecting it?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      leicester have been eyeing deeney for a while now, watford know that so seems sensible to reject the bid

      If carroll is worth 35 odd million then 20m for deeney is about right

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years

        Using other failures to justify a price shows how wrong the price is in the first place.

    My turn:

    Patricio - Kozacik
    Dier - Lichtsteiner - Rami - Howedes - Strinic
    Dzemali - Weiss - Perisic - Matuidi - Ozil
    Giroud - Ronaldo - Muller

    What do u thing?
    I am going to use WC after GW2 so i still thinking about this option:

    Patricio - Kozacik
    Dier - Lichtsteiner - Rami - HECTOR- Strinic
    Dzemali - Weiss - Perisic - PAYET- Ozil
    Giroud - Ronaldo - SHAQIRI

    and after GW1 change Shaqiri to Lukaku

    Kozacik / Patricio

    Djourou / Giaccherini / Rami / Howedes / Guerreiro

    De Bruyne / Matuidi / Alaba / Mak / Stanciu

    Giroud / Muller / Ronaldo
